If you don't know then you don't know!

[spicaly]

yeah, i was talking about mk2's.... i had a buddy of mine actually offer a set, yes a set for $180...... and there was a guy on my local craigslist that had three for $250

Man…I need to get my butt down to south florida when I have the money for m5gs.

I'm only a few hours away from Tampa and those prices aren't close those out here.

Not that I check often. Maybe I should start.



Found this one. Not bad: http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/msg/2824799940.html

I paid £450 for a pair of mk3d's here in the UK works out to about $700 but that also included a pair of Ortofon cartridges

1200 Mk2's can easily be had for under $350 like stated above, even M3D's can be had for around the same price. Just gotta look out for them. Now Pioneer CDJ prices aren't reasonable.

Now Pioneer CDJ prices aren't reasonable.

Agreed. Wholeheartedly.

I finally understand the point of spinning with CDJs and Serato…you have everything available and a halfway similar interface when you're spinning with vinyl at home and CDJs when playing out.

Technics are the industry standard turntable, for 33 years now. People pay for quality.

I bought my pair of Techs for $460 three years ago.

Checking craigslist now reveals they go for that much each.

If I were spending $1k on a deck, it wouldn't be Techs.

Now Pioneer CDJ prices aren't reasonable.

Compared to Technics' SL-1200 series prices, Pioneer CDJ prices are dirt cheap.
